Patriotism means to stand by the country, it doesn't mean to stand by the political parties. If anyone have different opinion or viewpoint or critics of some policies that doesn't make him/her anti-national or terrorist. Jai hind.
It is very hard to make this thing understand to the public out there. A true nationalist would always stand by the country and think what is correct for the country and whats wrong. Even if that wrong part is coming from the government.
Standing by the farmers is patriotism, irony is the antinational right wing is calling farmers antinational when the farmers sons from punjab are in the army.. imagine how they would feel. It is the same when a chief of a fanatic radical right wing religious organisation says that only people from particular religion can be patriotic. It is these people are a blot to our secular nation
And a climate activist is now arrested just because she shared Greta's post and stood by farmers and sedition charge is applied on her? Where is freedom? Where is constitution?.where is justice? Where is democracy? And that journalist who celebrated army men's martyrdom and used it for TRP is given support and roaming free.. what a contrast
Fucking love this channel a hundred times more now. You guys have the balls to stand up for what you believe is right and defend it, being least bothered about views and money unlike many other channels that just go along with whatever shit even if it's against their belief just so that they don't lose their income source. Not many people do what you do and I love you guys for it. Keep up the good work!
Virdas does what he does. But by breaking things down, you guys have given a lot of education to some people who don't understand freedom.of speech and expression.
*There were 3 Hindu guys, and a Christian alongwith comedian Munawwar Faruqui (who has already got bail with the help of the left ecosystem) who were arrested. But the media only wants to focus on one kind of arrest - Muslim arrest. Kamlesh Tiwari will always be a villain and Charlie Hebdo case was justified too.*
@@rashmirai5845 Well sath me madam bhi thi unki I suppose. So cool ban raha tha. 🤣🤣🤣🤣 But chill hai. The episode was about freedom of speech and expression. And he was expressing he "Coolness" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Most people do accept disagreement, but some things just aren't for debate. If someone says that the current farm laws are good,l (even though I don't think so) would not label them as Bhakts, but if someone says the way they were passed was correct (without vote in RS), I would say that. Some things are just indefensible and against the law.
Rick was suspiciously uncomfortable when vir das made that representation joke in obama's imitation. Deleting this comment is what will be called as selective freedom of speech.
Vir Das was spot on with the swimming pool analogy. I am slightly right wing and I support BJP because I believe in their economic policies and vision for the country ( you don't have to agree with me on their policies, its okay), but I also support Freedom of expression, it is the fundamental of democracy. Unfortunately, like Vir Das said, I am in a swimming pool with a bunch of idiots and they are ruining it for educated, informed people who are right wingers. I don't think that comedian should have been jailed for something he hasn't said. Even if he said something, they should have kicked him out instead of making it a big deal. Why can't we learn to diffuse situations in a smarter way?
India deserves a better conservative/ right wing party tbh. The prevalent ones are clowns. And the only reason they're successful is because they can read the people better than the other clowns.

You guys are doing something on a platform where you are directly dependent on the masses and yet you two had the spine to call a spade a spade and condemn out loud what happened to the comedian we had in jail for over a month. Thank you. Seriously. In a time when our own celebs are coming out as spineless parrots, this is so refreshing to see. ❤
Totally disagreed. We all depend on law for our protection .So if someone is hurt they have all the right to take constitutional means. Nothing like france has happened here. Its the simplified leftist narrative. Ohh govt has put some comedian in jail for saying something. However govt is not even involved.
Atleast a police station was not burnt alive in the name of offensive behavior. The person who are not from the same religion need to respect others religion. If they make fun of other's religion they need to be in Jail.
@@ronmiller3741 Idiotic worldview, "So if someone is hurt they have all the right to take constitutional means" - they can, sure but should our beloved offcials should act on it ?? HELL NO!!, tomorrow lets say a vegan or a vegetarian person when passed by a butcher house that sells chicken gets offended or gets genuinely hurt when that person sees carcass of dead birds, then by your logic that person can file a complaint because he was genuinely hurt but should he/she take that step?? hell no If we start putting people in jail because they think they got "hurt" then half of India would be in Jail because you know it too and I know it too that many hindus (including many of our family members) HATE muslims and many muslims HATE hindus, so yeah just because you can do something does not mean you SHOULD DO IT. tomorrow I start believing that tomato is my god, so what now do I have right to file FIR against every restaurant in India? and police should go and work because of my complaint? I might be genuinely hurt or I might just like abusing the system and get popular because I am in politics but there's no way you can prove why I filed the FIR You getting "hurt" because of your personal beliefs that are not factually based MEANS SHIT, now I am not saying that the person is not hurt, I totally believe that he is but he/she is hurt because of his personal belief that the certain entity is my sky daddy "However govt is not even involved." - what?? who the hell the approves that letter that this person should be kept in jail, if govt. is not responsible then why the hell policemen waits for warrants? when police decided to act on an idiotic cause that's when govt. got involved And before you or someone else, comes and start doing whataboutery by bringing in muslims, I'll be clear that muslims who hurt people because they got hurt when someone made fun or hell even depicted their sky daddy ARE WRONG
@@Exiide89 yeah and I'd be also interested in seeing who does society blames after that, If someone do something wrong they will hear from rest of the world There's a reason why terrorists is almost all movies are from pakistan/iraq or muslims for that matter, its because they have tarnished the reputation of their faith themselves, if you feel hurt and you want to kill someone because they said something funny about your sky daddy sure I can't stop you but be ready with your ears when entire world will talk about you and your beliefs in bad light "other religion apart from Sanatan Dharma for that matter." - jokes on christianity, buddism, jainism are made all the time so stop acting as if your sky daddy and your faith is only one that people are joking about
@Jog Antani agreed! But the point is, if one feel a comedians view point logical in a particular thing! An agreement upon it would be of no harm and vice versa.
Thanks for this video guys. Means more than perhaps you even realize. I know a lot of people that react to material from India, yet they haven't made a single peep about this stuff. I'm glad I wasn't wrong about you guys. Always a fan. Cheers.
I am against everybody who is against India And generalise things N also against those who likes to divide It by south, north or religious things I have no problems with people who have different political opinions
Because there is a law and that has to be used ok Because that toolkit had some heavy shit in it.... Lekin yaar ek 21 saal ki grown up ladki ko arrest kar liya woh bhi constitutional law ka use karke toh woh illogical h..... Go and watch Looney tunes.... This world is not with you
Very rightfully jailed. The sh*t she wrote in the toolkit was directly maligning India's image and it was funded by Soros and posted exactly by DIGIPUB companies that conspired it (Alt News, The Wire etc). She and those news channels directly involved foreigners like Rihanna and Greta by paying them (well documented months before they posted the tweet). You've got to be Mamta Banerjee's Andh Bhakt to believe it was not justified.
People were so worried that this video would be taken down, glad it wasn't ... Can't say the same about the Strings video about the Toolkit though .. Freedom of Speech is fascinating Btw , hope Rick and Korbin reads up IPC 295a . Lines of FOS in different countries are very different
295 a is the blasphemy law. It shouldn't exist on a functional democracy. And that string video called for hanging journalists. That is incitment of violence and also slander as none the accusations he made would actually hold up in court.
@@71espn The law doesn't really care about how I or you feel about it . If you got a problem with the law , you have full rights to go to court of it . I welcome you . Regarding the Strings video , he overdid with the hanging part but he made good points which were solid enough to warrant further investigation .
Did anyone notice that Vir laid a copyright claim on this video and video was taken down probably. Because the last time I checked this video was not appearing in the list after sometime. Maybe a TH-cam glitch or maybe vir claimed it
Let us be clear. There is NO ABSOLUTE Freedom of speech in India. It comes with reasonable restrictions. I. security of the State, II. friendly relations with foreign States, III. public order, IV. decency and morality, V. contempt of court, VI. defamation, VII. incitement to an offence, and VIII. sovereignty and integrity of India. Its foolish for any Indian citizen to violate it and then cry "victim".
@@Exiide89 Vir Das seems to thinks laws don't apply to comedians. Kamlesh Tiwari and Rinku Sharma was killed by muslims for Excercising free speech and Vir das has nothing to say about that.
Man, I just love how you guys stuck to what you believe and not change your stance or what you love doing just because some group of people will get offended or unsubscribe or leave Hate comments!
Agree that no one should be going to jail..but the people who informed that to you, I guess they conveniently ignored to inform that in the same India a man was killed because he commented something on the most peaceful religion of the world. Now can you say that atleast jail for sometime is ok and not just get killed?
No, both jail time and murder are not okay. One wrong doesn't justify the other. Extremism is a problem in all religions, no one said that only one religion has extremists.
@@Sayujya09 I already agreed both are not ok. But it is not at all OK to hide and ignore something and then go full on something which satisfies you. I don't want to argue on this, but hope you understand what I was trying to say...
Many have been lynched on accusations of beef eating. Shambhu lal hacked and burned a labourer for simply being muslim. Do a simple Google search you would find many stories of muslim men who had to spend decades of their lives on fake terrorism charges. There is no equivalence here. No balancing act. Criminalising blasphemy is wrong. Do is lynching people irrespective of their religions.
it's your right..you can keep playing the victim card..same way others also have the same right..google is there for everyone to search and find anything you want with your search criteria..change the words in the search and you can find many things that I am sure you don't want to look because you cannot accept it to be true..
Parinda brought a much needed grittiness and realism to Indian cinema. Yet at the same time it had plenty of drama too. Anil Kapoor's drive for vengeance, Jackie Shroff helplessness when he has to answer for his crime, Nana Patekar's madness- which he turns on and off like a tap.
Nowadays everyone wants rights and freedom of everything. But very few remembers their duties. With fundamental rights you also need to get involve in fundamental duties. If you are demanding rights make sure to do your duties as well. In the name of freedom of speech one can't disrespect other religion or sentiments. As the fundamental duty of a citizen is to promote harmony and brotherhood among all sections of the people transcending religious , linguistic and regional or sectional diversity. First do your duties and then demand rights. What happened to Munawar is vey bad. He didn't deserve it , I personally watch and enjoy his videos and no where did he ever crossed the line. But there are many other comedians who does it in the name of freedom of speech. With Munawar 5 others were also arrested and they are still in jail. The focus was on one person because he belonged to a certain community. Such selective narrative is also bad. As depending on the hot topic narrative will keep on changing . And this is very harmful when it comes to justice and equality.
Disagree dear......I understand your sentiments but Fundamental Rights dont need to be earned, THEY JUST EXIST...... Doing your duties is important but it is not in any shape or form related to ' Earning the freedom of speech' And yes, selective narrating is very misleading.... and yet this same thing is done by both sides blatantly and unapologetically
How about I say, I get offended by every stupid religious person on this face of earth, for undermining logic and rational thinking and human rights ? How about that ? What about my sentiments ?? Why is religion held at the top of everything ?
@@NileshKumar-nr2vj Lol! You sound like a religious person getting offended by some other religious group , without knowing the whole thing. Just blindly hating and getting offended. Damn, it is rightly said , one becomes the very person they strongly hate. Different sides of the same coin.
Guys please somebody clear the air for the Chloe juice cleans joke. I didn't get it. And given the decibels of laughter of Rick and Korbin on that , I assume its a funny one.
Common sense is not so common these days. Forget about logic. Nonetheless thanks for taking a hard stand. Love u only for this, well one reason for love is enough. Even 100 reasons to hate fall short of that
You might have a lot of hate comments due to politics going on and how every artist is thought of promoting or hating one political party. andh-bhakts (blind followers of BJP), the way you got trump's, are gonna hate on this. Just ignore those comments and do more of vir das :)
@@JustGotALife he is an artist. he got a platform. if he thinks his out of the box idea or the uncommon way of representing humor makes him connect more to the audience he definitely should do it :) you cant define any art form whether that be standup comedy to be within specific boundaries. that's like caging the art
@@anvi3969 actually you can define art form because there are several laws and regulations, freedom and responsibilities applied based on which category of art it falls into. The reason why it becomes even. more important in stand up comedy is because comedians have been long known to push their social agendas through the medium of comedy and when they are called out they say oh it was just a joke, I'm just a comedien you shouldn't take my words seriously. Which then makes you think at what point their speech becomes comedy vs his real opinions and preachings. They blur this lines as and when they deem fit to get away with it. Like in this case itself, what part is comedy and what's not. Here this two guys are taking how some of things Vir das says are right and took it as a preaching, but shouldn't we consider all that as jokes, we should be a like "hey when vir das said government is suppressing our freedom of speech, he is joking, he doesn't meant it, it's a joke, in reality they aren't". Since when did comedians became moral arbiters. Most ironic being kunal who says its a political comedy and this are jokes nothing serious, but then actually shouts in the face of arnab goswami. I don't know anymore who I blind bhakts or the whole India itself
@@JustGotALife why can't comedians be moral arbiters? and jokes are just the harsh reality presented in a funny manner. when the reality is pointed out in a more serious manner it is sometimes called speech. every art form is an expression of reality or fiction driven from reality. people make jokes about 'airplane food' those are funny because it's the REALITY that plane food sucks. if the plane food was nice and yet people made jokes, those wouldn't be funny in the general case. people just get offended or think that joke should not be made on reality when the joke is about a human or group in particular. people are only fine with the jokes made on objects, animals, or a system. yes vir das made a statement about freedom of speech which was FUNNY that's why IT WAS A JOKE. A joke doesn't mean it can't be about real life. The harsh reality is just pointed out in the form of humor. both can go hand in hand
@@anvi3969 lol they can't be because then they go against their own words when they say that those are just jokes and aren't meant to b taken seriously Another reason why they can't be is because they would cherry pick things of what they could classify as morals vs jokes as when it fits their own narrative. Another reason is most comedians based their jokes on observations not on actual hard facts/truth. They get often called out for being inaccurate and then they/their fans say "oh this are jokes, don't be s logical", he didn't actually meant it. This are some reasons why they can't be moral arbiters. It's no true, not all and most jokes are not based on harsh reality presented in funny manner. Infact there is different kinds of comedy, many of which has no connection with reality at all E. G Dark comedy, Surrealism, Slapstick comedy, Offensive comedy, Roleplay/Character based etc This type of stand up comedy often steers away from reality which makes them humorous. Expanding more on hypocrisy you don't see Indian comedians especially vir das kinds making controversial jokes on gays, transgender, lgtq etc. Why? Coz they risk offending large group of people. How IRONIC? They would be deemed as sexist, homophobic, etc etc. But why, aren't this just jokes? When people say Simpsons is racist towards brown ppl including vir das, well why? Aren't they just jokes? Why should they get cancelled? You see how selection bias slowly plays into the role. The same guy's who talk about freedom of speech, request cancellation of others when it doesn't fit their narrative. I remember one EIC comedian calling kapil sharma content sexist and misogynistic lool, he is judging him for his comedy while by very definition his peers making content on someone's religions will be deemed religion phobic or racist. And lastly if all jokes are based on reality then all those old jokes that were made on how women are dumb, illogical, etc etc must be veery true. XD
I beg to differ. When the government's ideology and misinformation is why people are getting offended, talking about freedom of speech is what stops a cult
For those who say "if you don't have freedom of expression then how are you able to say all this". 1. The funny but also the scary thing is you say it as if it's a favour 2. It's not just freedom of expression, it's the protection of that freedom that matters.. same way women have the freedom in dressing, but protecting that freedom is difficult in this country. Vir has mentioned that he had been taken to the court already multiple times and that too when Vir is an internationally known privileged personality. Imagine the ones who don't have that privilege. You know what happens to them, don't need to imagine.
the Govt has both merits and flaws, same applies to all parties, but the followers are fanatical, there are 1 or 2 govt supporters who will accept flaws, and are ready to have a civilised argument with words, but the vast majority are just blind idiots who refuse to accept any flaws and think that having a different opinion is anti-national. I am of the opinion that while some political parties can be better than other parties, a party can't be perfect.
Lol Some are in support of him (leftist) Some are against him (right wing) BUT SOME OF US ARE TIRED OF POLITICAL PREACHING IN EVERYTHING (me...at least)
@@GAURAV_RANA_ There's nothing called "unbiased" ,either you are too young too understand how world works and politics or u r lying to urself. There is no neutral, what you actually mean by "unbiased" is that you are tolerating to other point of view and accepting the freedom of its existence.
The voice quality of your reaction videos is always very poor. Your voices are very clear but Vir Das's voice is very poor. Its the same with almost all videos of yours. I don't know if others feel this way.
Exactly your point Rick! The whole debate started with a comedian (who happened to be a Muslim) made a joke making fun of the Hindu Gods - Lord Ram and Sita. I know in the west making fun of Gods is not a new phenomenon but in India its a very touchy topic and comedians generally avoid taking pot shots at Gods/religion. I would expect a very similar outrage had a Hindu comedian made fun of Jesus or a Christian comedian made fun of Allah. Like u said, just because you can, doesn't mean u should. Live and let live.
Rick and Korbin don't draw too much from such content. Left vs Right is a deep hole where people from either side is just trying to pull you on your side! They both are against each other but they belong to same to category, influencing others to make them believe only we are the right side. Too much hatered! But always a Vir Das fan. He is a Comedy Mogul!
I am not passive aggressive or post subtexts. I’ve been really clear about my opinion/thoughts surrounding the farmer’s protest.

As a libertarian I agree private companies should be allowed to work their premises as they want to, but sadly the ones who support private companies right to censor, also support government mandated wages, even though a company isn't forcing you to accept the wage. You can quit.
U can quit isn't the option. They need money to survive nd just bcz the middle class needs money to survive doesn't give the corporates the authority to oppress them
@@gargeebasak9648 the businesses don't force you to take up a job with them. They are not putting you on a leach and asking you to work. If you find it unacceptable try creating your own work or increasing your value. It's wrong to force a private entity to pay more for a work then they want to

@@gargeebasak9648 exactly the point of capitalism. Mutual consent. If the corporate pays extremely low wages, they won't get workers and the market will push the wages up. And no, its usually people calling for government action who struggle with economics. I'm an econ graduate and a contribute to 3 libertarian parties world wide :)
You are evaluating an incident in India with American laws. Indian constitution does not give absolute freedom of speech, and this has been reiterated many times by the supreme courts. Someone put a case on that comedian, and the police found merit in the case and arrested him, and five other comedians (not of the minority community btw which is being selectively not reported). I don't support it either, but the change has to happen in the constitution. Blaming the PM or the government is the just biased thinking, or politics. The fact of the matter is, the people who claim themselves to be liberals were the first to party in joy when trump was banned from twitter. Hypocrisy much? These people still don't have an answer why Rushdie's "satanic verses" or Joseph Lelyveld's "Great soul: Mahatma Gandhi and his struggle with India" is still banned in India. Selective outrage is not an outrage at all. It is just politics.
The problem is more with the policing system than the courts. They will eventually acquit you if it is not hate speech (and sometimes even if it is hate speech, if you have connections to politicians, but that is a whole different topic). The police on the other hande are literal pawns of the state government and will act as per their orders, resulting in unlawful arrests and torture and delays in trials, only for the courts to eventually acquit. But the police are never held accountable. We have all seen how Shiv Sena, TMC, BJP and the congress have used state police to target political opponents and when the court eventually acquits, the police still face no consequences. There has to be some provision to make them independent of any political party and a system to punish police who blatantly abuse prisoners and their rights. Police reform is something we are in dire need of, but no political party in power will ever do it, as it would reduce its own hold over them.
Comparing Trump losing his Twitter account (for spewing hate) to munawar getting arrested for a whole month (for a joke that he didn't even make) is the most ridiculous thing I've heard.
@@aryamanuttkarsh536 what about the ban on satanic verses. Can that be compared? or is everything ridiculous to you when it doesn't fit your opinion? Blaming the PM or the government for some two-time comedian getting arrested is also ridiculous, but you don't seem to find it so. Complete Freedom of speech is not an easy thing to embrace, and that is the reason it was not embraced in our constitution. In a country like India, with complete freedom of speech comes assaduddin Owaisi and Praveen Togadia, Mumbai riots and Babri demolition. In India we have limited freedom of speech, and that is a fact we need to accept.
@@neelimanemani4481-m8qhow is satanic verses being banned in any way related to a comedian being locked up in jail?? And it would be ridiculous to blame the government for the arrest of a “two time comedian” if this was an isolated incident, which it is not. Munawar isn't the only arrest which has happened, with him are disha Ravi, Umair Khalid, Anureet Watta, Gauri and so many more. Arresting people who speak against you is a sign of fascism. Just because the media doesn't report it, or just because the media paints literally every person who speaks against the government as a “terrorist" doesn't make it so. Sit through one hour of literally any news channel and tell me that they aren't completely biased towards bjp. Controlled media is also a sign of fascism. But obviously you won't see that. Because you choose to ignore the hate being spewed by the media. You choose to ignore the horrible condition of our economy (our GDP is lower than it has ever been in the past 10 years). You choose to ignore the various instances of arrests and of oppression done by the government. Who is to blame for all of this but the government? The only difference is that you choose to ignore it, I don't.
@@aryamanuttkarsh4905 Obviously, you don't understand much about what freedom of speech is, if you don't understand how banning satanic verses is similar.

It is very hard to make this thing understand to the public out there.
A true nationalist would always stand by the country and think what is correct for the country and whats wrong.
Even if that wrong part is coming from the government.
Standing by the farmers is patriotism, irony is the antinational right wing is calling farmers antinational when the farmers sons from punjab are in the army.. imagine how they would feel. It is the same when a chief of a fanatic radical right wing religious organisation says that only people from particular religion can be patriotic. It is these people are a blot to our secular nation
Well... who's gonna explain this to Arnab and his sis kangana
And a climate activist is now arrested just because she shared Greta's post and stood by farmers and sedition charge is applied on her? Where is freedom? Where is constitution?.where is justice? Where is democracy? And that journalist who celebrated army men's martyrdom and used it for TRP is given support and roaming free.. what a contrast
Just because its a party registered in India, doesn't imply they are NOT anti national either.
The beer guy has his own separate fanbase now 😂😂😂😂

Did he say this in the comments wow

Vir: Talking about freedom of speech and expression
Comments: BEER BOTTLE GUY!!!
I'm a simple man, I watch Vir Das' original video, I enjoy it. I see the OSR of that video I love it even more.
True that.
I get you.
Same here
The beer bottle guy is the main character and we are just the pity people who just exist.
Virdas does what he does. But by breaking things down, you guys have given a lot of education to some people who don't understand freedom.of speech and expression.
LOL. India is NOT the US dude. Know what happened to Kamlesh Tiwari ?
*There were 3 Hindu guys, and a Christian alongwith comedian Munawwar Faruqui (who has already got bail with the help of the left ecosystem) who were arrested. But the media only wants to focus on one kind of arrest - Muslim arrest. Kamlesh Tiwari will always be a villain and Charlie Hebdo case was justified too.*
Legends say the guy was born with the beer bottle in his hand.
Vir Das: "If you're stupid, you probably voted for the Govt."
Vir at Knox College 2 years back: "Be Stupid"
So, thats where he got his inspired from!
and Indians took it by heart 😜😁

In India People Will either call you a CHAMCHA or an ANDHBHAKT..because people here just can't accept disagreement.
Most people do accept disagreement, but some things just aren't for debate. If someone says that the current farm laws are good,l (even though I don't think so) would not label them as Bhakts, but if someone says the way they were passed was correct (without vote in RS), I would say that. Some things are just indefensible and against the law.
Rick according to the mute button being put on anything and everything that remotely disagrees with the Indian Govt., this is brave!
Rick was suspiciously uncomfortable when vir das made that representation joke in obama's imitation.
Deleting this comment is what will be called as selective freedom of speech.
It was not a good imitation. I was uncomfortable too.
Cognitive dissonance. All the Andh Left Wing Bhakts will not know what it means.
Deleting this comment won't be called selective FoE. This is a private channel and Rick isn't liable to you like govt.

Vir Das was spot on with the swimming pool analogy. I am slightly right wing and I support BJP because I believe in their economic policies and vision for the country ( you don't have to agree with me on their policies, its okay), but I also support Freedom of expression, it is the fundamental of democracy. Unfortunately, like Vir Das said, I am in a swimming pool with a bunch of idiots and they are ruining it for educated, informed people who are right wingers. I don't think that comedian should have been jailed for something he hasn't said. Even if he said something, they should have kicked him out instead of making it a big deal. Why can't we learn to diffuse situations in a smarter way?

This is the best of Vir Das so far!! (although I say every time after watching his new videos).

You guys are doing something on a platform where you are directly dependent on the masses and yet you two had the spine to call a spade a spade and condemn out loud what happened to the comedian we had in jail for over a month. Thank you. Seriously. In a time when our own celebs are coming out as spineless parrots, this is so refreshing to see. ❤
Exactly that's how we need to deal with offence......you have every right to get offended but it doesn't mean someone has to be in jail for it
Totally disagreed. We all depend on law for our protection .So if someone is hurt they have all the right to take constitutional means. Nothing like france has happened here.
Its the simplified leftist narrative. Ohh govt has put some comedian in jail for saying something. However govt is not even involved.
@@ronmiller3741 do you know the meaning of disclaimer or viewer discretion is advised!
Atleast a police station was not burnt alive in the name of offensive behavior. The person who are not from the same religion need to respect others religion. If they make fun of other's religion they need to be in Jail.
@@ronmiller3741 Idiotic worldview,
"So if someone is hurt they have all the right to take constitutional means" - they can, sure but should our beloved offcials should act on it ?? HELL NO!!, tomorrow lets say a vegan or a vegetarian person when passed by a butcher house that sells chicken gets offended or gets genuinely hurt when that person sees carcass of dead birds, then by your logic that person can file a complaint because he was genuinely hurt but should he/she take that step?? hell no
If we start putting people in jail because they think they got "hurt" then half of India would be in Jail because you know it too and I know it too that many hindus (including many of our family members) HATE muslims and many muslims HATE hindus, so yeah just because you can do something does not mean you SHOULD DO IT.
tomorrow I start believing that tomato is my god, so what now do I have right to file FIR against every restaurant in India? and police should go and work because of my complaint? I might be genuinely hurt or I might just like abusing the system and get popular because I am in politics but there's no way you can prove why I filed the FIR
You getting "hurt" because of your personal beliefs that are not factually based MEANS SHIT, now I am not saying that the person is not hurt, I totally believe that he is but he/she is hurt because of his personal belief that the certain entity is my sky daddy
"However govt is not even involved." - what?? who the hell the approves that letter that this person should be kept in jail, if govt. is not responsible then why the hell policemen waits for warrants? when police decided to act on an idiotic cause that's when govt. got involved
And before you or someone else, comes and start doing whataboutery by bringing in muslims, I'll be clear that muslims who hurt people because they got hurt when someone made fun or hell even depicted their sky daddy ARE WRONG
@@Exiide89 yeah and I'd be also interested in seeing who does society blames after that, If someone do something wrong they will hear from rest of the world
There's a reason why terrorists is almost all movies are from pakistan/iraq or muslims for that matter, its because they have tarnished the reputation of their faith themselves, if you feel hurt and you want to kill someone because they said something funny about your sky daddy sure I can't stop you but be ready with your ears when entire world will talk about you and your beliefs in bad light
"other religion apart from Sanatan Dharma for that matter." - jokes on christianity, buddism, jainism are made all the time so stop acting as if your sky daddy and your faith is only one that people are joking about

Very rightfully jailed. The sh*t she wrote in the toolkit was directly maligning India's image and it was funded by Soros and posted exactly by DIGIPUB companies that conspired it (Alt News, The Wire etc). She and those news channels directly involved foreigners like Rihanna and Greta by paying them (well documented months before they posted the tweet). You've got to be Mamta Banerjee's Andh Bhakt to believe it was not justified.

Did anyone notice that Vir laid a copyright claim on this video and video was taken down probably.
Because the last time I checked this video was not appearing in the list after sometime.
Maybe a TH-cam glitch or maybe vir claimed it
Vir didn't copyright it. It was a channel called Digital Media. I don't know why but it wasn't valid so that's why the video is back 👍
Such a witty comedian he is!
Liked this video, when it was blocked. Finally saw you guys speak about it. Wanna like it 1000 times more. Can't read other comments. Love and peace.
Let us be clear. There is NO ABSOLUTE Freedom of speech in India. It comes with reasonable restrictions.
I. security of the State,
II. friendly relations with foreign States,
III. public order,
IV. decency and morality,
V. contempt of court,
VI. defamation,
VII. incitement to an offence, and
VIII. sovereignty and integrity of India.
Its foolish for any Indian citizen to violate it and then cry "victim".
@@Exiide89 Surely Vir das knows the law, does he not ?
@@Exiide89 Vir Das seems to thinks laws don't apply to comedians. Kamlesh Tiwari and Rinku Sharma was killed by muslims for Excercising free speech and Vir das has nothing to say about that.

Vir Das is really on the path of becoming Dave Chapelle
This is time i liked Korbon saying "i'll block ya" at the end!!😂😂
Agree that no one should be going to jail..but the people who informed that to you, I guess they conveniently ignored to inform that in the same India a man was killed because he commented something on the most peaceful religion of the world. Now can you say that atleast jail for sometime is ok and not just get killed?
No, both jail time and murder are not okay. One wrong doesn't justify the other. Extremism is a problem in all religions, no one said that only one religion has extremists.
@@Sayujya09 I already agreed both are not ok. But it is not at all OK to hide and ignore something and then go full on something which satisfies you. I don't want to argue on this, but hope you understand what I was trying to say...
Many have been lynched on accusations of beef eating. Shambhu lal hacked and burned a labourer for simply being muslim. Do a simple Google search you would find many stories of muslim men who had to spend decades of their lives on fake terrorism charges.
There is no equivalence here. No balancing act. Criminalising blasphemy is wrong. Do is lynching people irrespective of their religions.
it's your right..you can keep playing the victim card..same way others also have the same right..google is there for everyone to search and find anything you want with your search criteria..change the words in the search and you can find many things that I am sure you don't want to look because you cannot accept it to be true..
The classic month background with all Indian film industry stalwarts is just toooo good. And you have Uttam Kumar and saumitra there, just amazing

Vir Das is a silent revolutionary.
The movie that changed Indian cinema is Parinda just like satya
Parinda brought a much needed grittiness and realism to Indian cinema. Yet at the same time it had plenty of drama too. Anil Kapoor's drive for vengeance, Jackie Shroff helplessness when he has to answer for his crime, Nana Patekar's madness- which he turns on and off like a tap.

Nowadays everyone wants rights and freedom of everything. But very few remembers their duties. With fundamental rights you also need to get involve in fundamental duties. If you are demanding rights make sure to do your duties as well. In the name of freedom of speech one can't disrespect other religion or sentiments. As the fundamental duty of a citizen is to promote harmony and brotherhood among all sections of the people transcending religious , linguistic and regional or sectional diversity. First do your duties and then demand rights. What happened to Munawar is vey bad. He didn't deserve it , I personally watch and enjoy his videos and no where did he ever crossed the line. But there are many other comedians who does it in the name of freedom of speech. With Munawar 5 others were also arrested and they are still in jail. The focus was on one person because he belonged to a certain community. Such selective narrative is also bad. As depending on the hot topic narrative will keep on changing . And this is very harmful when it comes to justice and equality.
Disagree dear......I understand your sentiments but Fundamental Rights dont need to be earned, THEY JUST EXIST...... Doing your duties is important but it is not in any shape or form related to ' Earning the freedom of speech'
And yes, selective narrating is very misleading.... and yet this same thing is done by both sides blatantly and unapologetically
How about I say, I get offended by every stupid religious person on this face of earth, for undermining logic and rational thinking and human rights ? How about that ? What about my sentiments ?? Why is religion held at the top of everything ?
And no, it's not a trade between rights and duties. Doing ones duty is virtue, independent of rights that states provides you.
ah, here they are
@@NileshKumar-nr2vj Lol! You sound like a religious person getting offended by some other religious group , without knowing the whole thing. Just blindly hating and getting offended. Damn, it is rightly said , one becomes the very person they strongly hate. Different sides of the same coin.

You might have a lot of hate comments due to politics going on and how every artist is thought of promoting or hating one political party. andh-bhakts (blind followers of BJP), the way you got trump's, are gonna hate on this. Just ignore those comments and do more of vir das :)
I actually hate this stand up because it's now focused on preaching than comedy. Wtf is it card stand up if all he wanted to do activism
@@JustGotALife he is an artist. he got a platform. if he thinks his out of the box idea or the uncommon way of representing humor makes him connect more to the audience he definitely should do it :) you cant define any art form whether that be standup comedy to be within specific boundaries. that's like caging the art
@@anvi3969 actually you can define art form because there are several laws and regulations, freedom and responsibilities applied based on which category of art it falls into.
The reason why it becomes even. more important in stand up comedy is because comedians have been long known to push their social agendas through the medium of comedy and when they are called out they say oh it was just a joke, I'm just a comedien you shouldn't take my words seriously.
Which then makes you think at what point their speech becomes comedy vs his real opinions and preachings.
They blur this lines as and when they deem fit to get away with it.
Like in this case itself, what part is comedy and what's not.
Here this two guys are taking how some of things Vir das says are right and took it as a preaching, but shouldn't we consider all that as jokes, we should be a like "hey when vir das said government is suppressing our freedom of speech, he is joking, he doesn't meant it, it's a joke, in reality they aren't".
Since when did comedians became moral arbiters.
Most ironic being kunal who says its a political comedy and this are jokes nothing serious, but then actually shouts in the face of arnab goswami. I don't know anymore who I blind bhakts or the whole India itself
@@JustGotALife why can't comedians be moral arbiters? and jokes are just the harsh reality presented in a funny manner. when the reality is pointed out in a more serious manner it is sometimes called speech. every art form is an expression of reality or fiction driven from reality. people make jokes about 'airplane food' those are funny because it's the REALITY that plane food sucks. if the plane food was nice and yet people made jokes, those wouldn't be funny in the general case. people just get offended or think that joke should not be made on reality when the joke is about a human or group in particular. people are only fine with the jokes made on objects, animals, or a system.
yes vir das made a statement about freedom of speech which was FUNNY that's why IT WAS A JOKE. A joke doesn't mean it can't be about real life. The harsh reality is just pointed out in the form of humor. both can go hand in hand
@@anvi3969 lol they can't be because then they go against their own words when they say that those are just jokes and aren't meant to b taken seriously
Another reason why they can't be is because they would cherry pick things of what they could classify as morals vs jokes as when it fits their own narrative.
Another reason is most comedians based their jokes on observations not on actual hard facts/truth. They get often called out for being inaccurate and then they/their fans say "oh this are jokes, don't be s logical", he didn't actually meant it.
This are some reasons why they can't be moral arbiters.
It's no true, not all and most jokes are not based on harsh reality presented in funny manner. Infact there is different kinds of comedy, many of which has no connection with reality at all
E. G Dark comedy, Surrealism, Slapstick comedy, Offensive comedy, Roleplay/Character based etc
This type of stand up comedy often steers away from reality which makes them humorous.
Expanding more on hypocrisy you don't see Indian comedians especially vir das kinds making controversial jokes on gays, transgender, lgtq etc. Why? Coz they risk offending large group of people. How IRONIC?
They would be deemed as sexist, homophobic, etc etc.
But why, aren't this just jokes?
When people say Simpsons is racist towards brown ppl including vir das, well why? Aren't they just jokes?
Why should they get cancelled?
You see how selection bias slowly plays into the role.
The same guy's who talk about freedom of speech, request cancellation of others when it doesn't fit their narrative.
I remember one EIC comedian calling kapil sharma content sexist and misogynistic lool, he is judging him for his comedy while by very definition his peers making content on someone's religions will be deemed religion phobic or racist.
And lastly if all jokes are based on reality then all those old jokes that were made on how women are dumb, illogical, etc etc must be veery true. XD
Ayyy..its not blocked anymore 🔥❤️
Vir Das is truly one of the most intelligent stand up comedian ever.
I beg to differ. When the government's ideology and misinformation is why people are getting offended, talking about freedom of speech is what stops a cult
For those who say "if you don't have freedom of expression then how are you able to say all this".
1. The funny but also the scary thing is you say it as if it's a favour
2. It's not just freedom of expression, it's the protection of that freedom that matters.. same way women have the freedom in dressing, but protecting that freedom is difficult in this country.
Vir has mentioned that he had been taken to the court already multiple times and that too when Vir is an internationally known privileged personality. Imagine the ones who don't have that privilege. You know what happens to them, don't need to imagine.
I respect both of you so much
Supporting Modi is not like supporting Trump.. They both are completely different personalities 🤷
Yup it modi supporters are much smarter and much more bigoted.
And anti-modi doesn't make one anti-national

POST THE INTERVIEW
I know it might be high praise or I might be way off... But I think Vir Das is like Dave Chappelle of India. No offense to his own individuality.
Please react to a Bengali Song: "Amar Chalaki" ( my cleverness) by Anupam Roy. It's fantastic. You will love it
So Vir Das has some kind of degree on American culture
the Govt has both merits and flaws, same applies to all parties, but the followers are fanatical, there are 1 or 2 govt supporters who will accept flaws, and are ready to have a civilised argument with words, but the vast majority are just blind idiots who refuse to accept any flaws and think that having a different opinion is anti-national. I am of the opinion that while some political parties can be better than other parties, a party can't be perfect.

Ok now we are talking
The voice quality of your reaction videos is always very poor. Your voices are very clear but Vir Das's voice is very poor. Its the same with almost all videos of yours. I don't know if others feel this way.
Exactly your point Rick! The whole debate started with a comedian (who happened to be a Muslim) made a joke making fun of the Hindu Gods - Lord Ram and Sita. I know in the west making fun of Gods is not a new phenomenon but in India its a very touchy topic and comedians generally avoid taking pot shots at Gods/religion. I would expect a very similar outrage had a Hindu comedian made fun of Jesus or a Christian comedian made fun of Allah. Like u said, just because you can, doesn't mean u should. Live and let live.
Rick and Korbin don't draw too much from such content. Left vs Right is a deep hole where people from either side is just trying to pull you on your side! They both are against each other but they belong to same to category, influencing others to make them believe only we are the right side. Too much hatered!
But always a Vir Das fan. He is a Comedy Mogul!
unfortunately, very few people understand this. Since most people can't look at "grey" areas. Most people can only see black and white.
there is no way he can get in trouble for THIS video in INDIA. JAI HIND
He is on the radar now.

@@zaxcollix123 ha ha ha ha wow great sarcasm.
I don't mind at all. I believe in freedom of speech.
I hope rick got some perspective. He pretends to not take sides , particularly on farmers’s crisis and then posts messages with subtexts.
I am not passive aggressive or post subtexts. I’ve been really clear about my opinion/thoughts surrounding the farmer’s protest. Don’t appreciate you trying to bait me into a fight when I’ve made my position really clear. You just don’t like my position. Deal with it. I’m not changing it to please you or anybody else
If you haven't seen Parinda u have missed one of the finest movies of bollywood...it stars Jackie Shroff, Nana Patekar and Anil Kapoor..pls watch it
Sir it is a very good video
Guys our constitution allow freedom of speech and expression with certain restrictions... so we must have respect for every form of life and people...
Modi and trump are the exact same guys
As a libertarian I agree private companies should be allowed to work their premises as they want to, but sadly the ones who support private companies right to censor, also support government mandated wages, even though a company isn't forcing you to accept the wage. You can quit.
Sorry lol, I know it's not a political Chanel, but just felt like saying it :)
U can quit isn't the option. They need money to survive nd just bcz the middle class needs money to survive doesn't give the corporates the authority to oppress them
@@gargeebasak9648 the businesses don't force you to take up a job with them. They are not putting you on a leach and asking you to work. If you find it unacceptable try creating your own work or increasing your value. It's wrong to force a private entity to pay more for a work then they want to
@@saarth02 do u even understand how capitalism works? Am i supposed to teach u a whole class worth of info over TH-cam? A private entity do not get the rights to oppress people. You don't wanna pay? Cool. Do all ur shit yourself. Let's see u survive without any worker nd this is coming from someone who's seen a business stand up close
@@gargeebasak9648 exactly the point of capitalism. Mutual consent. If the corporate pays extremely low wages, they won't get workers and the market will push the wages up. And no, its usually people calling for government action who struggle with economics. I'm an econ graduate and a contribute to 3 libertarian parties world wide :)
You are evaluating an incident in India with American laws. Indian constitution does not give absolute freedom of speech, and this has been reiterated many times by the supreme courts. Someone put a case on that comedian, and the police found merit in the case and arrested him, and five other comedians (not of the minority community btw which is being selectively not reported). I don't support it either, but the change has to happen in the constitution. Blaming the PM or the government is the just biased thinking, or politics.
The fact of the matter is, the people who claim themselves to be liberals were the first to party in joy when trump was banned from twitter. Hypocrisy much? These people still don't have an answer why Rushdie's "satanic verses" or Joseph Lelyveld's "Great soul: Mahatma Gandhi and his struggle with India" is still banned in India. Selective outrage is not an outrage at all. It is just politics.
The problem is more with the policing system than the courts. They will eventually acquit you if it is not hate speech (and sometimes even if it is hate speech, if you have connections to politicians, but that is a whole different topic). The police on the other hande are literal pawns of the state government and will act as per their orders, resulting in unlawful arrests and torture and delays in trials, only for the courts to eventually acquit. But the police are never held accountable. We have all seen how Shiv Sena, TMC, BJP and the congress have used state police to target political opponents and when the court eventually acquits, the police still face no consequences. There has to be some provision to make them independent of any political party and a system to punish police who blatantly abuse prisoners and their rights. Police reform is something we are in dire need of, but no political party in power will ever do it, as it would reduce its own hold over them.
Comparing Trump losing his Twitter account (for spewing hate) to munawar getting arrested for a whole month (for a joke that he didn't even make) is the most ridiculous thing I've heard.
@@aryamanuttkarsh536 what about the ban on satanic verses. Can that be compared? or is everything ridiculous to you when it doesn't fit your opinion? Blaming the PM or the government for some two-time comedian getting arrested is also ridiculous, but you don't seem to find it so.
Complete Freedom of speech is not an easy thing to embrace, and that is the reason it was not embraced in our constitution. In a country like India, with complete freedom of speech comes assaduddin Owaisi and Praveen Togadia, Mumbai riots and Babri demolition. In India we have limited freedom of speech, and that is a fact we need to accept.
@@neelimanemani4481-m8qhow is satanic verses being banned in any way related to a comedian being locked up in jail?? And it would be ridiculous to blame the government for the arrest of a “two time comedian” if this was an isolated incident, which it is not. Munawar isn't the only arrest which has happened, with him are disha Ravi, Umair Khalid, Anureet Watta, Gauri and so many more. Arresting people who speak against you is a sign of fascism. Just because the media doesn't report it, or just because the media paints literally every person who speaks against the government as a “terrorist" doesn't make it so. Sit through one hour of literally any news channel and tell me that they aren't completely biased towards bjp. Controlled media is also a sign of fascism. But obviously you won't see that. Because you choose to ignore the hate being spewed by the media. You choose to ignore the horrible condition of our economy (our GDP is lower than it has ever been in the past 10 years). You choose to ignore the various instances of arrests and of oppression done by the government.
Who is to blame for all of this but the government?
The only difference is that you choose to ignore it, I don't.
@@aryamanuttkarsh4905 Obviously, you don't understand much about what freedom of speech is, if you don't understand how banning satanic verses is similar.
The reaction I was waiting for 🙏
Laughter at what cost by hurting religious sentiments
I think you mean *your religious sentiments* you don't own faith buddy ! Get that through that thick head of yours. And when did this comedian even mention gods in his entire standup ?
If you don't like a particular type of humour, don't watch it. As long as people are enjoying, I don't see a problem with it.
@@rijuroychowdhury9242 my head is all good and no sorry according to Indian law foe is not absolute and where were you whe muslims burned banglore for a FB post
@@Raj-ks1wb you're right. It isn't foe is restricted when you harm integrity of india and use hate speech to instigate riots. Neither of which have been done. So what even is your point ? If there was any to begin with !
@@Raj-ks1wb Where were you when Karni Sena pelted kids bus with stones and burned down sets of a movie.
Just to clarify, the banglore incident or france incident were terrible and most liberals/lefitsts condemned them. I have no bias for any religion and anyone acting violently for their religious belief is wrong. Extremism is wrong in all religions.
Munawar Faruki said something offensive, he got jailed, Kamlesh Tiwari said something offensive, he got killed, that's the difference.
The thing is @rick and @korbin, most Indians would find this heavily offensive. That's why he made it clear that the first half would be light and the second half would be heavy. Of the people who would find it offensive, like he mentioned most of them cannot spell GDP 😂😂 so unless someone sits and translates this set word for word, many of the "fanbase" would not get it 😂😂
what do you think that those who oppose the goverment are only intellectuals in the world
rest of the country is fool . im sorry buddy but BJP won 353 seats and thats a lot of votes you have just called your own brothers and sisters fool and now you are terming others those who cannot spell GDP as illeterates . i guess you need to reconsider who is real illiterate
@@lokeshmaharshi3120 I want india / Bharath to grow into a better country and not Hindu-stan . So from that aspect , yes it is stupid that politics in India is run on some shape or form of religion base and not on what the situation was before a certain party came in to power and what has improved since.
If you really think I am to reconsider my opinion , I don't mind it, but give me a list of things in bullet points that have improved. Let the numbers do the talking. I don't want an essay on what has been created / improved, I need short bullet points on facts and please cite your sources for the same. I ll then consider changing my view if convinced.
Ps. I am a Hindu Brahmin, but an indian first, You know, just before people start assuming otherwise.
@@24rohith to your first question i wonder if you heard about bharatmala or frieght corriordor or about infrastructure projects going on in country . goverment is investing heavely in infrastructure. Many IIts aiims and IIms are established by the goverment
so there is development in the country
around 14 metros projects are under construction and in 20 cities goverment has ordered to prepare DPR.
Now back with this whole intellectual thing i believe there is element of hindutva present in BJP but it is result of blatant appeasement by UPA and majority of indians are hindus and one more thing why are hindus everytime fodder for this pseudosecularisim
you tell me why only hindu temples in control of govt. why cant they start gurukuls like madarssas
also i belive brhamins to be inclusive to every ideology and bigger fools then everyone else thats why most of them are poor they get nothing from thier priestly states except hate but still support left and get killed
also you are terming the biggest party the world has ever seen as unintellectual just think about it
@@lokeshmaharshi3120 that's the things about being hindu in this country. You are the majority. Hence anything done to oppress you as a community will not impact so many cuz you are a majority. But for already minority groups, all this has heavy impact. Why would people ( acceptors or what hindutva stands for) go and beat people to near death people who are from minority groups for consumption of beef ( sacred Hindu animal) when india is the third largest exporter of it ? If you are so bent on having cows to be sacred, ban beef export.
If it is your thing to follow, you must ensure that you follow it. Asking every single person to follow it is not what is called a democracy.
Now coming to the Brahmin thing. I have educated members in my family who support the bjp, more importantly the current pm, cuz he does good things for Hindus. So yes, I do agree that Brahmins are also part of the list of people . So...
@@lokeshmaharshi3120 plus it's meant for people to laugh about and have a good time. Trust me, if we invested this much conversation about what politicians say and do , indian politics will be a different scene altogether . That's the sad reality we live in . Where statements made / sometimes not made by people who are to make you laugh are taken way more seriously than they should be ..
